1
00:00:07,133 --> 00:00:10,493
Speaker 1: You're listening to the Saturday Morning with Jack Tam podcast

2
00:00:10,613 --> 00:00:11,893
Speaker 1: from Newstalk.

3
00:00:11,413 --> 00:00:15,053
Speaker 2: SEDB, and it is screen time and Tara Ward joins us. Now,

4
00:00:15,093 --> 00:00:19,133
Speaker 2: Good morning, Tara, Good morning. Hey tell me about In

5
00:00:19,293 --> 00:00:23,253
Speaker 2: Cold Water, the Shelter Bay mystery. This is screening on

6
00:00:23,493 --> 00:00:26,453
Speaker 2: Prime Video and it's a documentary series that has a

7
00:00:26,453 --> 00:00:27,293
Speaker 2: New Zealand connection.

8
00:00:29,253 --> 00:00:32,013
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is a new true crime documentary series with

9
00:00:32,053 --> 00:00:35,173
Speaker 3: as you say, a very strong New Zealand connection to it.

10
00:00:35,173 --> 00:00:38,213
Speaker 3: It's a three part series and it's about a murder

11
00:00:38,253 --> 00:00:41,693
Speaker 3: investigation that happened in Canada in twenty ten and it

12
00:00:41,773 --> 00:00:44,733
Speaker 3: involved a New Zealand man named Peter Beckett who was

13
00:00:44,773 --> 00:00:48,093
Speaker 3: a former Napier City councilor. And Peter was fishing on

14
00:00:48,133 --> 00:00:51,173
Speaker 3: a lake in the Rocky Mountains with his Canadian wife Laura,

15
00:00:51,533 --> 00:00:54,653
Speaker 3: and Laura drowned in the lake. Peter says she fell

16
00:00:54,893 --> 00:00:57,293
Speaker 3: into the water, it was an accident. He tried to

17
00:00:57,333 --> 00:01:00,173
Speaker 3: save her and couldn't, but the police were suspicious and

18
00:01:00,373 --> 00:01:03,053
Speaker 3: a year later they charged Peter with his wife's murder

19
00:01:03,413 --> 00:01:06,053
Speaker 3: and Peter claims he's innocent. He's the only witness to

20
00:01:06,053 --> 00:01:09,053
Speaker 3: his wife death and for the next decade he's involved

21
00:01:09,093 --> 00:01:12,933
Speaker 3: in lengthy court trials and mistrials and appeals and what

22
00:01:13,013 --> 00:01:16,733
Speaker 3: he calls a huge miscarriage of justice. So it's a

23
00:01:16,853 --> 00:01:20,773
Speaker 3: very mysterious case involving all sorts of twists and turns

24
00:01:21,133 --> 00:01:24,413
Speaker 3: and shocking the allegations on both sides of this story.

25
00:01:24,813 --> 00:01:27,733
Speaker 3: But the documentary doesn't try to convince you one way

26
00:01:27,813 --> 00:01:30,293
Speaker 3: or the other. It just lays out all the details,

27
00:01:30,573 --> 00:01:34,093
Speaker 3: talks to a lot of people involved, from Laura's family,

28
00:01:34,173 --> 00:01:38,013
Speaker 3: to the police, to forensic experts, to Peter Beckett himself,

29
00:01:38,613 --> 00:01:40,693
Speaker 3: and just leaves you to make your own conclusions. Is

30
00:01:40,733 --> 00:01:42,933
Speaker 3: this a miscarriage of justice or is it as the

31
00:01:43,013 --> 00:01:47,013
Speaker 3: Canadian police would argue, a clear cup murder case. So

32
00:01:47,053 --> 00:01:48,773
Speaker 3: if you are a true crime fan, this is one

33
00:01:48,813 --> 00:01:51,693
Speaker 3: to watch. It's on Prime Video Now, but it's also

34
00:01:51,733 --> 00:01:54,853
Speaker 3: screening free to air on Sky Open from Monday.

35
00:01:54,613 --> 00:01:58,053
Speaker 2: Night Fantastic Now. I had a look at the list

36
00:01:58,173 --> 00:02:00,133
Speaker 2: of shows that you were going to talk about this

37
00:02:00,173 --> 00:02:02,973
Speaker 2: week and I thought, oh, Dave the Jackal, that looks good.

38
00:02:03,893 --> 00:02:06,813
Speaker 2: So then I felt out of duty to be properly

39
00:02:06,813 --> 00:02:11,493
Speaker 2: prepared for the show. I'd watch an episode. Five episodes later,

40
00:02:11,573 --> 00:02:13,893
Speaker 2: I got back to my life. I really enjoyed this.

41
00:02:14,093 --> 00:02:17,493
Speaker 2: It's just look, I love a crime thriller, and this

42
00:02:17,533 --> 00:02:20,053
Speaker 2: one was just really easy to sort of mercyself in

43
00:02:20,093 --> 00:02:22,013
Speaker 2: and enjoy.

44
00:02:22,293 --> 00:02:24,253
Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree. If you are looking for a sort

45
00:02:24,293 --> 00:02:27,893
Speaker 3: of an explosive, wonderfully tense, as you say, very binge

46
00:02:27,933 --> 00:02:30,733
Speaker 3: able spy thriller, you won't go wrong with Dave the Jackal.

47
00:02:31,173 --> 00:02:33,533
Speaker 3: This is based on the book by Frederic Fullscyth and

48
00:02:33,573 --> 00:02:36,373
Speaker 3: it stars Eddie Redmain who plays the Jackal. He is

49
00:02:36,413 --> 00:02:40,333
Speaker 3: an elite sniper. He's a master of disguise, and he

50
00:02:40,493 --> 00:02:43,933
Speaker 3: travels from city to city as a paid assassin. And

51
00:02:43,973 --> 00:02:45,853
Speaker 3: he's offered a job that pays so well that he

52
00:02:45,893 --> 00:02:49,053
Speaker 3: could stop doing this work forever. But at the same time,

53
00:02:49,413 --> 00:02:52,493
Speaker 3: an six officer is on his case. She's very good

54
00:02:52,493 --> 00:02:55,413
Speaker 3: at her job, she's very persistent, and they get caught

55
00:02:55,493 --> 00:02:57,813
Speaker 3: up in this cat and mouse game across Europe. The

56
00:02:57,933 --> 00:03:00,413
Speaker 3: jacker wants to get this last job done and the

57
00:03:00,733 --> 00:03:03,453
Speaker 3: six Officer wants to find him before he does. And

58
00:03:03,493 --> 00:03:05,453
Speaker 3: it's a matter of how far will each of them

59
00:03:05,493 --> 00:03:08,373
Speaker 3: go to succeed and how obsessed will they get with

60
00:03:08,413 --> 00:03:11,813
Speaker 3: the other. So it's a real classic spy thriller, you know,

61
00:03:11,853 --> 00:03:14,453
Speaker 3: the story is from the nineteen seventies, but they've made

62
00:03:14,453 --> 00:03:19,053
Speaker 3: this feel very fresh and modern and contemporary. Friderick Forsyth

63
00:03:19,133 --> 00:03:20,933
Speaker 3: was a producer on the show, so it sort of

64
00:03:20,973 --> 00:03:24,973
Speaker 3: honors that original story as well. It's very glossy and sleek,

65
00:03:25,093 --> 00:03:28,973
Speaker 3: and some great locations in Europe. Lots of action scenes,

66
00:03:29,013 --> 00:03:31,373
Speaker 3: but lots of quiet moments as well, which I really

67
00:03:31,453 --> 00:03:34,373
Speaker 3: like that balance between the big explosive moments and the

68
00:03:34,453 --> 00:03:37,613
Speaker 3: quiet tension that sort of builds through it. So it's

69
00:03:37,613 --> 00:03:39,493
Speaker 3: a ten part series, and as you say, the first

70
00:03:39,933 --> 00:03:42,133
Speaker 3: five episodes are up on TV and Z plus now

71
00:03:42,253 --> 00:03:44,253
Speaker 3: just enough to get you hooked, and then the next

72
00:03:44,333 --> 00:03:45,893
Speaker 3: five will come out weekly, and.

73
00:03:45,853 --> 00:03:49,733
Speaker 2: That's so and that's call you in because normally tvans

74
00:03:49,733 --> 00:03:51,933
Speaker 2: it often just does it, you know, week by week,

75
00:03:52,013 --> 00:03:54,053
Speaker 2: puts out one episode per week. So I was like,

76
00:03:54,093 --> 00:03:56,613
Speaker 2: oh my gosh, the whole season's out. This is so exciting.

77
00:03:56,653 --> 00:03:58,533
Speaker 2: I think that's why I wented it so hard and fast.

78
00:03:59,373 --> 00:04:01,693
Speaker 2: And then I was like, oh no, what now I

79
00:04:01,693 --> 00:04:04,933
Speaker 2: have to wait. Now it's this weakly thing. No really

80
00:04:05,013 --> 00:04:07,333
Speaker 2: loved it. And look, I'm also so a huge fan

81
00:04:07,613 --> 00:04:12,253
Speaker 2: of Bad Sisters. I love that these Irish sisters and

82
00:04:12,373 --> 00:04:14,293
Speaker 2: I'm a big fan of Sharon Horgan as well, who

83
00:04:14,333 --> 00:04:17,973
Speaker 2: I do think was behind creating and writing this show?

84
00:04:18,093 --> 00:04:22,173
Speaker 3: Was she not? Yes, she was. So It's based on

85
00:04:22,253 --> 00:04:24,893
Speaker 3: I think maybe a Danish series from a few years ago,

86
00:04:24,973 --> 00:04:26,813
Speaker 3: but she co created it and she's written in it

87
00:04:26,853 --> 00:04:29,733
Speaker 3: and starring in it, and I'm the same. I love her.

88
00:04:29,853 --> 00:04:32,493
Speaker 3: She made shows like Catastrophe and Divorce, and I'll watch

89
00:04:32,573 --> 00:04:35,293
Speaker 3: anything that Sharon Horgan makes. But this is one of

90
00:04:35,293 --> 00:04:37,173
Speaker 3: my favorites and it's back for a second season. This

91
00:04:37,253 --> 00:04:40,013
Speaker 3: is Bad Sisters on Apple TV Plus. This is a

92
00:04:40,053 --> 00:04:43,413
Speaker 3: show about five Irish sisters. One of them is married

93
00:04:43,413 --> 00:04:46,733
Speaker 3: to an awful, awful man, and the series begins with

94
00:04:46,773 --> 00:04:49,293
Speaker 3: his funeral, but we don't know how he died or

95
00:04:49,333 --> 00:04:52,173
Speaker 3: if someone killed him, and the show jumps back and

96
00:04:52,213 --> 00:04:55,813
Speaker 3: forth in time as these sisters jokingly plot to kill

97
00:04:55,853 --> 00:04:57,693
Speaker 3: their brother in law and then they give it a go,

98
00:04:57,933 --> 00:05:01,013
Speaker 3: but they are terrible at it. They bungle things every time,

99
00:05:01,133 --> 00:05:03,613
Speaker 3: they don't know what they're doing, and they're also being

100
00:05:03,693 --> 00:05:07,413
Speaker 3: investigated by the husband's insurance company you can't afford to

101
00:05:07,453 --> 00:05:09,813
Speaker 3: pay out on his death, and is determined to uncover

102
00:05:09,973 --> 00:05:13,733
Speaker 3: anything that will prove it wasn't an accidental death. So

103
00:05:13,773 --> 00:05:16,133
Speaker 3: season one was great. I'm interested to see how they

104
00:05:16,173 --> 00:05:19,453
Speaker 3: approached season two because season one ended so beautifully. It

105
00:05:19,493 --> 00:05:22,213
Speaker 3: was sort of its own, very nice, self contained story.

106
00:05:22,613 --> 00:05:25,213
Speaker 3: But there's such great chemistry here between the five sisters,

107
00:05:25,213 --> 00:05:28,693
Speaker 3: the ensemble cast and Clothes and Marie Duff and if Houston.

108
00:05:29,533 --> 00:05:33,613
Speaker 3: It's wickedly funny, but it's also emotional and thoughtful and clever,

109
00:05:34,053 --> 00:05:36,693
Speaker 3: and it captures all those dynamics of a family and

110
00:05:36,733 --> 00:05:38,693
Speaker 3: then just takes it to another level.

111
00:05:38,453 --> 00:05:40,093
Speaker 2: Because I think I think the reason why you relate

112
00:05:40,133 --> 00:05:42,213
Speaker 2: to it is because it's very well written and as

113
00:05:42,253 --> 00:05:45,053
Speaker 2: you say, well acted. But actually, if you were eye,

114
00:05:45,053 --> 00:05:47,093
Speaker 2: Tara was thinking about trying to kill.

115
00:05:47,013 --> 00:05:50,413
Speaker 4: Someone and then and then it kind of unfolds, and

116
00:05:50,733 --> 00:05:51,853
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, like you can kind of

117
00:05:51,893 --> 00:05:53,533
Speaker 4: relate to how things kind of go right and then

118
00:05:53,573 --> 00:05:55,733
Speaker 4: how things go wrong, because really it's not our Wheelhelth,

119
00:05:55,973 --> 00:05:58,573
Speaker 4: Yeah exactly, you know, it's not what you're not.

120
00:05:58,653 --> 00:06:00,413
Speaker 3: The day of the Jackal. Now they don't know what

121
00:06:00,413 --> 00:06:01,613
Speaker 3: they're doing, so.

122
00:06:01,653 --> 00:06:03,653
Speaker 2: You kind of relate from it, you know, from the

123
00:06:03,693 --> 00:06:06,613
Speaker 2: couch going yeah, no, okay, I'm not sure i'd be

124
00:06:06,613 --> 00:06:08,053
Speaker 2: able to put this off either.

125
00:06:09,373 --> 00:06:09,933
